Library Faces

Emily Funk, Administration

There's a new face in the Libraries' administrative offices: Emily Funk has filled the seat vacated by the recent departure of Amy Petit.

A native of Missouri (Cape Girardeau on the Mississippi River) Emily graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in audiology and speech language pathology. She moved to Athens when her husband, Abe, began pharmacy school.

Emily enjoys “all types of books,” from historical fiction you can learn from to children's books, such as Harry Potter: “I'm totally hooked” on the series, she said. “I'm pretty game for all different kinds of books.”

When it comes to movies, she is an AMC fan, preferring old movies, especially ones with Cary Grant.
